pooboo Rowing Machine for Home, Max 360 LBS Magnetic Rower with APP and LCD Monitor, Tablet Holder, Upgraded Rowing Machines with Comfortable Seat Cushion

I spent so much time reading reviews and trying to decide on which row machine to buy. Ultimately I decided on this one because of the overall good reviews and the price. I’m so glad I did. I love this machine and so does my husband and our two teenage boys. It’s a great workout. It’s easy to put together (I even did it myself to try to give my hubby a break). It rolls easy on the wheels and is quiet enough to roll into the living room and do it while we watch TV if we want. Which I do often cause I tend to go longer with some distraction. It is also easier to store since you can set it upright and leave it like that. We are very happy with this purchase. The only thing I will say is I’ve not quite figured out the display, but I haven’t tried too hard because I rely on my garmin watch for any workout feedback. I’m sure if I took the time to mess with it I would be able to understand it better. I absolutely 100% recommend this machine.

I bought this particular rowing machine because it had a large rectangular center beam that I thought looked very strong (and it is). The whole thing seems well designed, and the hardware all fit perfectly. It only took about an hour to put together (including unpacking). All the needed parts were there, including the tools needed for assembly. I love my exercise bike that I’ve used for years and has the same magnetic drive that is very smooth and quiet. The rollers for the seat have sealed bearings and thick covers. It looks like they used really good quality parts where it counts. I put the batteries in the computer, and it works, but I couldn’t care less about that part. My stopwatch and the adjustable tension of the rower are all I need. I’m 5’-9” and the beam that the seat rides on is plenty long enough and strong enough for someone about 2" -3" taller. I think the price is quite a bargain for this machine. The only negative I see, is that the resistance is not that strong. It's fine for me for cardio, but if someone needs very strong resistance, this isn't it. But, overall, I'd give it an A rating.

Works great. Very sturdy. Not hard to assemble. It does slide around a little. Recommend putting on a non-slip mat or carpet.

I was skeptical of the quality because it is a more affordable machine, but was so impressed with the durability, easy of installation, and overall design of the Pooboo machine. It has been a godsend for my family, especially my older parents, to help them keep their bodies moving when they don't feel like going outside. Instead of installing the tablet/phone mount, we just put it in front of the TV, so it's easy to get some daily movement in while getting your usually TV screen time. Without the phone/tablet mount, the machine as a very low profile and create as much visual clutter. It's easy to prop up when you need the floor space too. My father has been using it daily for the past 6 weeks, and the machine has been going strong! His posture is better, and he has a lot more energy now. This machine has been a blessing! Rowing is a wonderful full-body, low-impact workout. I've recommended it to all my friends with older parents who need some more movement in their lives. I've even used it myself a few times to get my cardio in.

Love my rowing machine. Best exercising machine I've owned. It's so easy to use. It was very easy to install. It doesn't feel like a workout. Just smooth gliding back and forth.
